The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 426 A First-Order Venerable Position? You, the Enforcement Hall Master of the Heavenly Profound Sect, dare to covet it? Making premature contact with the Celestial Realm…

Domain space?

Lu Ye's mind suddenly stirred.

Xiao Qingyin said in a low voice, "You should have heard of the Domain Space. It is a mysterious technique that only Grandmasters of the Heavenly Realm can initially access."

"And once you reach the Celestial Realm... anyone who doesn't have their own Celestial Domain will be far less powerful than those who possess a formal Domain."

"Within the Realm Sea, if one can ascend to the first-tier Venerable position, there will be an opportunity to make early contact with it."

After a slight pause, Xiao Qingyin continued, "This means that once you successfully grasp a trace of the rudimentary form of the domain space, you will have more time to delve into this path."

Domain Space...

Before this, Lu Ye didn't know much about the realms above Grandmaster in the Mortal Realm.

Later, they entered the illusionary space and gained Ye Youyu's trust in the underground palace of the Nightshade Domain.

That's how I got the chance to enter Ye Youyu's library and browse all sorts of books.

One particularly distinctive method surprised Lu Ye at the time.

That is... the prison of heaven and earth!
This is a technique exclusive to experts at the Celestial Realm!

Using heaven and earth as a cage, people are trapped inside.

As he read on, Lu Ye realized that the Heaven and Earth Prison technique originated from the realm of the Celestial and Human Realm.

Within the realm of Celestial Realm experts, he... is the absolute controller!
Unexpectedly, the Mirror Sea Space actually provides an opportunity to comprehend the rudiments of a domain space ahead of time.

This was something Lu Ye hadn't expected.

As the Mirror Sea space slowly manifested, five stone platforms emitting a faint golden light appeared in its most prominent position.

"Is that the position of honor?" Lu Ye pointed and asked.

Xiao Qingyin nodded: "Yes, that is the first-level Venerable position, which is also the most fiercely contested opportunity in the Realm Sea."

Even after the five golden stone platforms appeared, the changes did not stop.

Immediately after the golden stone platform, twenty more ordinary stone platforms appeared, forming a circle that completely surrounded the golden stone platform.

"What are those?" Lu Ye was somewhat surprised. How come there were twenty more positions that seemed to be one level weaker?

“This is the second-tier Venerable Position,” Xiao Qingyin explained. “The effects of the second-tier Venerable Position are much weaker than those of the first tier. Moreover, the most important opportunity to comprehend the Domain Space is also lost. However, in terms of drawing in the Origin Qi of the Realm Sea Space, it is stronger than other ordinary areas.”

"Therefore, in the secret realm, the five strongest experts occupy the first-tier Venerable position, while the others who feel that their strength is not weak will compete for the second-tier Venerable position."

After listening, Lu Ye nodded, indicating that he understood.

As all twenty second-tier Venerables manifested, the massive protective barrier above the sky slowly opened.

"Do you want to reach the second-tier Venerable level?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyin was startled: "What are you going to do?"

“If you’d like, I can help you,” Lu Ye said.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyin shook her head: "I understand what you mean, but... even the second-tier Venerable position, under normal circumstances, can only be attained by those who are at least at the fifth level of the Mortal Realm Grandmaster."

"My strength is simply not enough to stand there... Thank you for thinking of me, but I'll just stay in the ordinary area and do my best."

Upon hearing Xiao Qingyin's refusal, Lu Ye felt a sense of unease, as if he had expected it.

As the former sect leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect, although her strength is now far behind hers, she still has her own principles.

Just as she believed she understood some of Lu Ye's personality, Lu Ye also had some understanding of Xiao Qingyin's personality.

"Alright, let's go in then." Seeing that some people had already begun to step into the void, preparing to enter the Mirror Sea Space and grab a spot, Lu Ye and Xiao Qingyin also flew up into the sky.

At this moment, all five first-tier seats had already been occupied by others.

Looking at this scene, Lu Ye glanced at the throne and found that there were only two people who had reached the ninth level of the mortal realm Grandmaster.

The other three were all at the eighth level of Grandmaster.

This surprised Lu Ye. This time, the opening of the secret realm didn't even have five ninth-level grandmasters?

However, Lu Ye quickly remembered.

In just a few days, four Grandmasters at the ninth level have fallen at his hands... It seems that four of them have already perished.

It's not that it's not enough, but rather that external factors reduced it by two-thirds...

Just then, Xiao Qingyin whispered to Lu Ye, "That eighth-level Grandmaster... is from the Tianxuan Sect."

She knew that someone in the Tianxuan Sect had a grudge against Lu Ye. Among the people who had been hunting down Lu Ye, as revealed in the previous news, one of them was the deputy sect master of Tianxuan.

Therefore, Xiao Qingyin gave a direct reminder.

Sure enough, after Xiao Qingyin's reminder, Lu Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

Nodding, Lu Ye arrived a short distance from Zhu Gang, the head of the Enforcement Hall of the Tianxuan Sect, and coldly asked, "Should I escort you down, or... should you come down yourself?"

Zhu Gang, who had just ascended to the first-tier golden stone platform, suddenly changed his expression.

Zhu Gang never expected that out of the five honorary positions, he would be targeted by this monster.

Is this person treating themselves as an object of humiliation?!

"you!"

Since advancing to the late stage of Grandmaster, coupled with his status as the head of the Enforcement Hall of the Tianxuan Sect.

Zhu Gang had not seen anyone speak so arrogantly to him in a long time.

But the sight of two ninth-level Grandmasters falling happened only half an hour ago...

Zhu Gang gritted his teeth and ultimately decided to go all in.

With a hint of resentment, Zhu Gang landed on a golden stone platform, cursing the two ninth-level grandmasters of the Heavenly Curtain Palace in his heart.

Zhu Gang had already discovered that after entering the secret realm, he had not seen the two Grandmasters of the Ninth Level from the Heavenly Curtain Palace again, and he didn't know where they had gone.

If those two Grandmasters had been there earlier, with the combined power of the four ninth-level masters, they might have had a chance to kill this vicious beast on the spot.

How can we tolerate his arrogance?
However, given his current weakness and lack of support, Zhu Gang decided to remain patient.

Looking at Zhu Gang of Tianxuan Sect, who was once arrogant, now being asked to step down, and to a first-order Venerable position at that, he didn't dare to utter a sound.

Xu Mao, standing nearby, felt a secret sense of satisfaction, as if he had just drunk a mouthful of cool mountain spring water.

Cool and refreshing!
After driving the Tianxuan Sect member off the golden stone platform, Lu Ye gracefully ascended and landed on the platform.

"This is what they call the first-tier Venerable Rank?"

Lu Ye curiously examined the golden stone platform beneath him.

This is probably the design of a training platform, but it's unclear what material it's made of.

It is not an ordinary stone; it seems to carry a faint sense of coolness and divinity that calms the mind and soothes the soul.
